esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 flash_id

This is what is returned

Code: Select allManufacturer: e0

So that should be a 1M or 8Mib correct?

Mi is short for Megabinary emphasising the difference of 1024*1024 vs. 1000*1000 for the "M" but in IT forums Mi is seldom used, it is more likely for legal aspects in trade (size of hd's)

If you want to show the difference between bits and bytes, some propose to use capital B for Bytes and small b for bits, so it would be 1MB=8Mb
